You just HAD to sell this mere days after I bought a different guitar

Buy this too!

Curious why the 2 EMG's are of different vintage? The neck has the new logo and the bridge has the old logo. What's up with that? Just noticed the neck pickup is a EMG 85 based on the gold color. Did this originally have the EMG 60 in the neck? Do you still have the EMG 60?

 

[jedimindfrak82]

Oops, yeah, has an 85. Good eye. That is how I got it, so I don't have a 60

Can you measure the width of the neck at the nut? I'm not a fan of narrow Fender necks. If this is the typical 1 5/8" width I'm not interested. If it is closer to 1 3/4" then I might be interested.

 

[jedimindfrak82]

It's 42 mm or 1.65"... Slightly more than 1 11/16"

 

[fusion1]

1 5/8"= 1.625"
1 11/16" = 1.6875"

41mm= 1.614"
42mm= 1.653"
43mm= 1.693"

The 42mm size is closer to 1 5/8" which I can't stand. Not sure how you got that it was wider than 1 11/16"? The minimum I ever play these days is 1 11/16" or 43mm and the Fender is narrower than that so I will pass. I also seem to remember these had 7" or 9" vintage radius fretboards and I prefer the wide flat variety anywhere from 12" to 16". That's mostly the reason why I remember not buying one of these when they first came out years ago.

Just saying, you can easily google any of this info.

12" radius fretboard and 1.65" width at the nut

 

[jedimindfrak82]

Exactly. It's definitely wider than 1 5/8" because I prefer 1 5/8".

Alright, final price drop and then I'm just gonna keep it... $525 PPG to continental U.S. with a GIG BAG. No hard case. Now is the time to get a great deal on one of these if you've ever wanted one!
